Right, As I'm keeping the car, thought I should get something to introduce a little more traction.

 

I seen some 19s which will fit, and fill the arches really well.

 

Tyre Sizes would need to be 285/30/19 Rears and 245/25/19 Fronts - respectively.

 

Now I do not race the car, and drive it sensibly, only using the power for over taking - literally.

 

The only reason Im thinking 19s, is as I can't find any 18's to fit the 285 wide rears.

 

 

Any Ideas or recommendations?

 

I like the Rota Grid Drift Alloys, sometimes referred to as the GTRs. Also like deep dish polished rims.

 

I want something new, but don't want to pay too much as tyres will cost well over a £1000 on their own.

 

 

 

Thanks in Advance. If you can find a lower diameter, with same width, on a similar looking wheel, or a deep polished lip wheel. then it would be even better.

 

 

Thanks Again!

245/35/19 fronts*

285/30/19 rears*

I thought you didn't have any money!?!?!... lol....

 

someone please keep him away from the toy shop... :laugh:

Apparently we need to spend our way out of recession so Im with Ryan...:laugh:

lol Medallion Man. you didn't see my update on that post then? lol.

 

I am looking to order stainless straight through next week and the PAS pipe. then Im going to do alloys, paint and leather etc lol

:lol: good thinking....

 

now just going to run it by the wife, she how receptive she is to it ....

Rota grid drift and rota gtr are different wheels. What width wheel are you looking for? The 18" rota wheels have more size options than the 19"...

Good point Joel.

 

I like them both, but prefer the 5 spoke GTRs over the 6 spoke drifts. Either way, I like them both.

 

I would like at least 9.5 wide rears, possibly 10's.

 

Would also prefer a 17, but a 17 in that width is nigh on impossible to find lol

Are you looking for an stainless exhaust bud? I have a cat back quad outlet (looks like standard) stainless steel in good condition, just needs a clean, looking for £100.00 + postage.

i have the rota gtr's on my car

 

I think you'll find the sizes you're after will be readily available, it's the offsets that you may struggle with.

this is what i currently have on my zed 19's not sure of rim sizes though could be 8.5/9.5 or 8 &9 but there are similar wheels to these on ebay circa £500/£600 mark

I thought you were keeping such an original one owner car standard?......:)

Why do you need such massive tyres anyway?

its just alloys, they are easily swapped lol. Im not changing body work, just respraying in original colour lol.

 

I want really wide rears, just because it will stick to the road so much better.

 

£100 not a bad deal mate. will prob take you up on that, its not blowing anywhere or anything is it? and it is a LWB Auto too. apparently the Auto exhaust is different to the manual one, due to having to go round a larger gear box.

Mark those rims look fantastic on your car mate. love them

hi yes funny enough im running the same alloys not sure what make they are as all the centre caps are missing could you help

What dya think of these?

 

 

i know of a set of used 19s for sale with tyres. 8.5 fronts, 9.5 rears. Likely £600ish

Mine are rota gtr's front 9.5j with 30 off set but I have a 5mm spacer so makes them a 25 offset i belive! My rear are rota gtr-d's again 9.5j and 25 offset. The rota gtr-d's go up to a 12j i belive so there is a wide rang in them. Mine are 18's.

Rotas are tried and tested and look great esp grids or simular. 18" rays of the 350 or 17s off the r33 gtr also look great and carry a stoclish element to them.

I also like the stock ones when spaced out correctly. There just so small though.

I do like those 19s posted. But I don't think I'd pay £600 used, as its not something I would buy new as a first choice if you know what I mean?

 

I love the Rota's they are almost identical to the Volks, and another copy is the Dotz GTR and Cruze GTR on flea bay. not sure of their quality though.

 

Will keep eye out for used GTRs as don't mind paying to refurb as I can get them customised. if nothing comes up before my respray, I will have to buy new.

 

defo preffer 18s over 19s too.

its just alloys, they are easily swapped lol. Im not changing body work, just respraying in original colour lol.

Yeah mate, LWB Auto. Not blowing at all buddy as far as I know, never fitted it to my car, but it's in great condition.
